Death of Colonel ClOugh.

Colonel ]. B. Clougb, engineer in charge
of the Montana branches OF the Northern
Pacific railroad, died in Helena, August
22d, after an illness Of but four days. he
had been suffering from what was regarded
as a light attack of pneumonia, and was
thought to be recovering, but q change
occurred from which he never rallied.
Colonel Clough was born iD Massachusetts
in 1923, and graduated at the Wesleyan
University in Connecticut in 1S48. He
began his engineering career in 1S49 on the
Mobile & Ohio road and was connected
with various roads until 1869 when he
was elected city engineer OF Minneapolis. a
position which he held for several years.
In 1850 he entered the service of the
Northern Pacific, being fr-t in charge of
the Bismarck bridge then Assistan mt Gem
eral Engineer of the Missouri
Division and succfssively in charge Of
the Yellowstone and National Park
division. and last year was made engineer
in barge of the branch roads in Montana.
I ol"nel Clough was a ~ ber OF the Ma
sonic ordtr, and one in high standing being
a member of the Nashville Commandery OF
Knights Templar. His remains were
taken to Minneapolis for interment. The
deceased raves a wife, three sons and two
daughters, all of whom reside in Minneap-
oils. TIE business and social relations Of
Colonei Clough we're of the highest charac-
ter, and his loss is mOurned by all who
knew him. A meeting OF the Civil Engi-
neers of Montana is called for tomorrow
evening to express their sorrow at the
death of a respected member and honored
citizen.

WELCOME THE PILGRIMS,

We arc pleased to note the fact that our
esteemed contemporary, the Helena Her.
aid. one OF the pioneer papers OF the Terri.
tory, takes the broad view that pilgrims
should be invited to Montana and not
repealed. The time has gone by when the
standing OF a man in the capital city
should be measured by the standard OF
time when be crossed the Prickly Pear. 1t
does not go much natter when or whence
he came, as that he may nave the essential
elements OF good citizenship. As the Her
aid we'll says: above all, we want men to
make a State, men Of thought, enterprise,
education and ambition to give body,
voice and push to our more rapid develop
ment. And above all we need women with
their refining and elevatiDg influences to
make pleasant homes" That is just
what Montana wants. Wherever homes
are cultivated the higher type
OF civilization will prevail. Without home
influences any community is but barely
semi barbaric. When men come to Mon
tsna from the States or eIsewhereit is their
duty to bring their families, or to take to
themselves wife from among the fair maids
who have graced this country with their
presence or 60 back East for a help.mate,
and rear a family to enjoy the rich heritage
to which they are entitled. With all OF the
good people who have lived in Montsna for
the years agone, there are others just as
good to follow them. Let us all therefore,
welcome the new corners as brothers and
sisters and do all that We can to make
them feel home Influences and that there
who are worthy. Tie stigma OF Pilgrim"
should not attach to the new corners, who
in the years to come may themselves be-
come ''old.timers."

Another Bonanza.

Some prominence attached to the mines
located a few months since by Butte men un-
der the names of the Homestake and Grub
stake, for the reason hat one of the loca-
tors was badly frozen while attempting to
get to the prospects from Georgetown and
has since undergone amputation of both
legs. Mere prominence now attaches to
the Homestake for the reason
that the mine gives every indica-
ton of being a veritable bonanza. The
property is owned by an incorporation in
Butte known DIS the Flint Creek Mining
Company. From Mr.. Leopold Winter
halter, with Leyson & Turck. one of the
fortunate owners of the mine. who has
just returned from an inspection of it, a
representative of The MINER was yester-
day put in possession of the following facts:
The lead Is located about five miles north
east of Georgetown and the formation j.
similar to that in the vicinity
OF the Cable. A specimen from
the Homestake exhibited yesterday
ia identical with the able rock. Six men
are at work o. the mine. There is a shaft
twenty-five feet in depth, and a tunnel
is run along the lead. which varies in width.
An. average assay of an eight inch vein, gave
high as $1,000 per ton have been received.
The owners Of the Homestake are elated
over their fortunate possession. and will
proceed to systematically develop the
property. The mine Is easy of access, and
there is an abundance of timber aud B.
good water supply.

INNING LATEERS.


Random Notes Gathered by Reporter
IN His Bounds.
At the Mountain View work 10 still pro
crossing, in enlarging the main shaft. The
timbers, blocks, ETC., are being put in posi-
ton. It will be some time yet before any
ore is hoisted- All the men Who can be
worked to advantage are employed. Last
evening the sh4ft had been completed to q
depth of 100 feet. and is being deepened at
the rate Of about six sets q week.
At the Colusa Shelter everything is at q
stand still, awaiting the arrival OF coal.
The hauling Of ore from the Mountain
View continues daily, and it will require
some time to exhaust th, supply on the
dump.
The machinery oil the old Lexington mill
has been thoroughly Overhauled, q new
boiler put in, and the work OF crushing re-
sumed.
The employees of the st Lawrence were
laid of yesterday on account of q break
in the machinery. It will take a day or
two to repair the damage, when work will
be continued.
Sinking will be completed to the 15O-ioot
level OF the Bonanza to-day when it will be
determined whether the pay chute extends
deeper than where the rich ore body is
exposed on the 1OO-footlevel. Some little
difficulty was experienced yeterday by the
pump getting put of order. Much water
has to be contended with as sinking pro-
crosses.
The shaft has been completed to the
26O-foot level of the Hope and the ledge
cross-cut. showing as fine a body of ore as
ever a pick struck into. Drifts have been
east and west along the ledge and
q regular output will be made hereafter.
Large bodies of ore still remain in theupper
levels and the usual amount was hoisted
to the surface during the progress OF the
sinking.

Advices from New York are to the effect
that John A. Cockerill of the World is to
60 to the Herald on the highest salary ever
paid a journalist in America, and what is
even more important to himself and to the
future of the Herald, supreme authority.
From many years acquaintance with Mr..
Cockerill's work, we are sure the Herald
has made q ten.strike in securing his SER
vices. He is acknowledged in the profession
to be the brightest and the best executive
editor in America to-day. His genius con-
tributed to the success. first OF the Cincinnati
Enquirer, next OF the Post Dispatch. OF
St. Louis, and then OF the World, whose
circulation went up under his management
from some ten or twelve thousand to
nearly two hundred thousand copies per
day. Ballard Smiths accession to the
position OF the managing editorship Of the
World doesn't mean it's advancement. He
will write for and edit the World on stills,
which is not a popular method outside of
Kentucky, where Ballard received his early

Fixing the Responsibility.

Suit has been commenced by attorneys
retained by the relatives of Alfred Kreizer,
deceased. for damages. The Union Pacific,
Utah & Northern, Montana Central and
Montana Union Railway Companies are
made parties to the suit. Referring to the
latter's interest in the road where the arci.
lent occurred, General Minty said yester.
day to a MINER reporter: We have moth.
ing whatever to do with the road, except
to furnish an outfit to do construction
work. The Montana Union operates the
road from Garrison to Butte, and also the
mill road to what is known as the town
track. Aside from this our connection
with the other track is as stated. The
company furnishes an engine, cars and
men at the request of the Union Pacific.
and we receive our pay from that company
monthly. We do not. of course, object to
being made a party to the suit which I am
informed has been instituted. The rela.
tives oil the dead man want to fix the re.
sponsibility on some company, and by
making all the companies defendants to
the suit they may be able to arrive at the
conclusion as to where the fault OF the &C.
cident lies"

WORK OF THE SPECIAL SESSION.

Members at the special session should be
ware Of woodehucks. chief among which
10 the Insane Asylum scheme. The presen,
session is not called together to pass new
legislation but to remedy the defects Of tn,
regular session. The Revenue act needi
revision. the lien law should be overhaulei
and the bounty bill practically abolished
Perhaps the most damaging legislative
act OF the last session, the one that il
working the greatest h%ardships and tending
most to retard the Territorial develop.
ment, especially in the matter of mines, is
the lien law. The evils Of this legislation
have often been pointed out by this paper.
They cannot be cured o quickly. This
act was passed ostensibly in the interest
OF the poorer class OF miners. vet they have
been the greatest sufferers from its pro-
visions. as mine owners to protect them
selves, exact such bonds that
the operating class cannot meet them. The
effect OF this on the Territory is to tie up
mines which would otherwise be made to
add their share to the production OF the
precious metals aad the wealth OF the Ter
ritory. The first duty Of the special ses-
sion should be to repeal or SO amend this
hv that it would not be the most
serious drawback to the Territory. The
gopher bounty has done about all the
mischief it can this season. in depicting
the Territorial Treasury. But it should be
abolished before the breeding OF gophers
becomes . recognized industry of the Terri
tory. The revenue bill should be carefully
scrutinized in the light OF legislative ex-
'psrience and the defects that have been
developed by its practical operations cured.
The TACT is. there is enrueh business in
sight for the special session in correcting
the error OF the past to occupy its time as
long ~ it should sit under the executive
call, without springing any new schemes,
such a. are contemplated.

Washington special: Geveland's mana
gers are preparing for his swing around the
circle. The latest and most ingenious in
~vention lie that he is the friend Of the
ia rmers and that what he does not know
about shorthorn cattle is not worth
knowing. Here it is as given out
in organic form: "On his Western
trip this fall President Cleveland
expects to attend several Of the great State
arieultural fairs. Much has been said
about his slight acquaintance with the
country and the people outside Of New
York. 1t will surprise q great many, no
doubt. to heal that his acquaintance with
the pedigrees OF the short horn cattle OF
the United States is probably equalto that
of any man who is not now engaged
in raising the best stock. so that
he will be at home among the
shorthorns wherever he meets them.
The american Shorthorn Herd-book,"
which has now reached it's twenty-eighth
volume is the standard work published in
this country containing the pedigrees OF
Shorthorn cattle. It ia a work known by
every cattle.raiser in the United States.
Nearly thirty years age President Cleve-
land, then just entering his majority. took
a personal interest in the compilation OF
many of these volumes.

There IA no abatement in the interest
taken in the Red River Railroad war. The
issues involved may lead to results OF inter.
national interest. The people of Mani.
toba, Northern Minnesota and Dakota are
al ON the side OF the Northern Pacific. and
they are supported by the Manitoba gov
eminent. Against them are arrayed the
Canadian Pacific railway. it's servile crea.
ture. the Dominion government. The Can.
adam Pacific is firmly resolved to exhaust
every resource, every a~rtiice, to prevent its
great ran Continental rival from
crossing the boundary and eecur.
ing q foothold on Manitoba soil.
On the other hand, the opposition is deter.
mined to do that very thing despite the de.
crees Of courts and against the acts oil
aggression by the all Canadian line. In.
functions are ignored and armed resistance
will be repealed by force OF arms. That the
Northern Pacific people and their allies will
succeed is not questioned by those who are
familiar with the spirit and stubbornness
which characterize the sturdy settlers OF
that section on both sides OF the line.
Should there be a free for all fight and
armed force be resorted to there may be
some serious complications.
